Awesome God,

(7:11 a.m.)

Mm. Yes. Awesome, awesome God.

Thank You Father that You are indeed awesome. My attention continues to shift to the devastating news of horrific flooding in the south and rampant fires here in the west. Horrifying. Horrific. Tragic.

Blessed, blessed God. Thank You that we have the privilege of coming to You. Thank You that we have Your Word. Your Truth. Your promises.

As I search Your Word, I continue being amazed at how readily You offer hope in every situation. Blessed, Holy, Amazing Father God, thank You that You are our God.

(9:39 a.m.)

I continue alternating between two sections of Scripture. Deuteronomy 7:21 and Nehemiah 1:5. Both refer to You as a/the great and awesome God. THAT is exactly what I long to take away with me this morning. The Truth that You ARE the great and awesome God. No circumstance changes that.

We are powerless to change the weather and the devastation that comes with it. With You, the LORD our God with us, we have the hope needed to sustain us. Great and awesome God, it is to You we pray this morning. You know Your will and Your plan. Bring us ever closer to Your way.
